meter.jpg 
 

Milestone 1:

Phase 1 = Constructions of three (3) Classrooms for a Nursery School

(ages 3 - 6 years)  

= 2 Floors: Ground level and Upper level

What has been accomplished so far:

- Secured land for building

- Obtained Planning Building permission from the government

- Land clearing of vegetation

- Foundation Reinforced and Strengthened with metal rods

- Commencement of pillar construction to hold the building structure in place


Milestone 2:

Phase 2 = Constructions of six (6) Classrooms for Primary School

(ages 7 - 13 years) 

= 2 Floors: Ground level and Upper level

School toilets: 3 for boys and 3 for girls

 

Milestone 3:

Underpinning phases 1 & 2:

Constructions stages: Building layout; excavation and footings;

foundations, drainage and backfill; framing (roofing and flashing);

doors and windows; plumbing and electrical; exterior finishes; interior

finishes; paints, cabinets and fixtures; landscaping.

 

We have conservatively budgeted a total amount of 55,000 (CHF/Euros)

that would be needed, we're at the earlier stages of this journey.

 

So far we have spent about 30% of the budgeted amount and we are looking to raise funds for the remaining construction activities. 

 

 

 

Dear Friends, we are at the early stages of an exciting venture to build

a new school in Gambia (West Africa):

 

STAR LIGHTS SOLID FOUNDATION LEARNING CENTER

(Dan. 12:3;  Math. 5:14)

 

The VISION is to have the best and most conducive learning center in

the Kombo region and beyond. We aspire to make STAR LIGHTS SOLID

FOUNDATION LEARNING CENTER a fun and inspiring learning place for

children; providing solid foundations in MATHS and SCIENCES that are

laid in the TOTAL CHILD.

Offering sound education avoids the pitfalls of poor maths and science

foundations which by extension impacts the quality of a child’s career path

and ultimately, affects the rate of development of the wider community

(eventually in the economic strength of the country itself). Presently good

foundations in maths and science are found in very expensive private schools.

Consequently, the fees prohibit quality education being available to every child.

Kombo South is part of the Western Region of the Gambia, the most

populated region where the highest population density is found.

In developing the TOTAL CHILD, our first target will be to design and build

the nursery school classrooms and the toilets. We will start as follows:

 

   Phase 1 - Start with a batch of approximately 35 to 40 pupils in nursery one.

  This batch will graduate by the end of the academic year; going into nursery

two. The nursery one classroom then becomes free to accommodate a fresh enrolment.

 

The nursery school will be a precursor to developing the next stage of the

project: Primary school.

 
 

  Phase 2 - We would like to then launch into the primary level stage - about

two years after phase one has started, and so on and so forth; steadily to

 their sixth grade. By this time we would have been able to lay a good and

  solid foundation because we would have had quality time with the children,

     availing us enough time to assess and evaluate both our progress and the

       pupils’. Knowing the students individually will enable a good bond from

         which to impart a secure foundation, whilst being a part of their lives and

that of their families as well. 

 

 

   In case of transfers especially regarding primary school entries, we would

conduct a test to assess the child's academic status, thereby maintaining the

   center's quality standards. We want to produce STAR LIGHTS for the nation.

    We are aware that having the whole nation in mind is quite a challenge but

       we take encouragement from the Chinese proverb that says “little people

      doing little things all over the world can change the face of the world.”

 
 

  We will be very clear on our intentions about the quality and caliber of our

      staff who would be made up of the SAVED. We are convinced that the quality

   we aspire for, is genuinely found among those who know, uphold and live by

      Kingdom values; knowing human worth and the value of a soul. Present now

  is a highly motivated teaching staff, who are enthusiastic, dedicated, and

      committed to EXCELLENCE in rendering solid and quality foundational

education.

 

In order to achieve this goals, we are sending the “Macedonian call”,

get involved, come over, help and support us in every way you can.

 

We need (presently):

 

1) Educationists to help us not only in coming for short term and long

     term teaching and guiding resource but to also help in augmenting

       the training of our staff in maths and the sciences. We would happily consider college graduates.

 

2) Support in designing curriculum in order to achieve this goal.

 

3) Learning materials for children in a world that is increasingly technological

in its quest for development.

 

Whoever the Lord will touch in his/her heart to help in these and in

       any other ways not mentioned (or perceived as vital, but not mentioned),

will be eagerly welcomed; The Lord Willing.

 

Yours in His service,
